This panel allows you to choose which languages and language formats you can assign in
subsequent panels.

Language

The Primary and Secondary Language fields toggle through all the languages listed in the
Languages Table. The default Primary Language is (01) US English. The default Secondary
Language is Disabled.

To use a Secondary language, you should also:

• Use the 3270 Host Profile panels to select the Primary or Secondary language as the

default language for each host.

• Use the Device Profile panel to select a default keyboard table language.

• Optionally use the Keyboard Definition Utility (KDU) or ASCII Definition Utility

(ADU) to set up keys (in addition to ExSel + L) for selecting the Primary and Secondary
languages, or for toggling between the languages. The KDU Key Acronyms table in
the Central Control contains the codes for setting up these keys.

The Primary and Secondary languages can be configured to be the same language, enabling
you to define twice the number of keys on the Keyboard Definition Utility (KDU) or ASCII
Definition Utility (ADU) layouts. (The layouts can be modified as the Primary language, and
also modified as the Secondary language.
